Corolla Maintenance Checkup/work Cost

[qwertypoiu]

Car is driven 135,000Kms now and getting regular preventive maintenance and In the mean time it got a new clutch, bushes, bearings....
So Toyota says suspension is ok and does not need any change but ride quality has deteriorated and I think it needs a change, how can it be determined and what criteria does Toyota follow
other Few problems which have evolved are
1) The dash board squeak as if some screw has fell or is loose.
2) driving side window does not roll up properly and glass lost its alignment.

and suggestions?

Problem 1 and 2 are minor irritants. Just find some sensible mechanic and window machine wala.

Leave the suspension if it is okayed by the workshop.

Ride quality deteriorates with the age of the vehicle also.

you are supposed to change the rubber brake lines about every 100,000 kms. They swell up internally and cause loss of brake bite. You are also supposed to change the trans oil every 45,000 kms or 2 years.

Its called preventive maintenance - but as you said it was your previous car you just passed on the problem to the next owner.

Who cares here, people sells their cars to pass on the problem to new owner, it?s a norm here. I have not came across a single person in Pakistan who has changed rubber brake lines and I give a call to anyone on Pakwheels to come forward and say yes that he has done this maintenance.

Very appreciative of the fact that you are spreading this piece of information and I am looking forward to this maintenance in couple of days.

Anyone knowing the price of rubber brake lines, their availability and how to know the part which we would be buying is a genuine and off same quality which was originally installed by the manufacturer.

They don't follow any criteria, as simple as this :d

For the suspension to be as good as new you need suspension parts as good as new

Car is driven 140,000 km now, Ac works totally fine but when extensively used on motorway over 5-7hrs period non stop the Blower air throw is reduced by 60% though air is cool, Ac/fan belt was last changed at 80-90k kms now there is no sound or hint of that being the culprit. Any guesses

AC not tripping at appropriate time and icing up the core.

And if the ac trips accordingly then the blower motor or it's control is bad

I havent noticed any delay/ not tripping issue, So the remedy is new blower motor(if its bad well thats what toyota will say)?

[devilskreed]

HOnda/Toyota 3s workshops are ripoffs..Buying a car is one thing,its maintenance is hell expensive.

[devilskreed]

That is estimate for 80k work Not that i have gotten it done. Secondly if one is paying 250 or 300 extra for a part but it is guaranteed that it is genuine Toyota part. From open market NO one knows what he is getting. secondly it is a headache roaming markets buying stuff then going getting it installed.

I rome markets for parts and i am glad i do..I will not pay a penny to any one ripping me off..Paisa darkhtoon pay ugta hota to koi aur baat thi.You can source parts easily outside.

No as its not available for this model with toyota

I had a 2006 SE saloon I could get those filters from montegomery road, it didn't come with one though.

it sounds like your car's blower / EVAP needs cleaning.. there must be LOTS of gunk in it
